"And you'll never get your head around why there's always a man with a plastic bag standing in the middle of the town"

Briaink

Brilliant this week, the skit with Ireland doing the stripping as it knows it best was fantastic.......pissing in the pint...ha. priceless..some disappointing parts:D

jayteecork

Thought it was a poor episode.

Can't think of one sketch that stood out.

bobsoice23

"you are very welcome to Kerry"haha Im from Kerry myself and taught that was brilliant:D

I'd never heard of it and caught it last night. I havent laughed so hard in ages.

The last 2 episodes (Tourism and Racism) haven't been great at all, but the previous 2 were brilliant I thought. Usual surreal, silly, black humoured stuff that we've come to expect from the Savage Eye...

However their quality control is patchy but I suppose that's the nature of the creative process and maybe too many people are involved or just not enough time is spent on script editing.

Still there's always next weeks episode to look forward to!

"hey hey we're the nordies" had me laughing me head off!

zuroph

Was quite disappointed to see the nordie sitcom back this week.

is it a parody of NI comedy? It doesn't work for me, but it seems to be a pisstake of "give my head peace"??

jayteecork

And why is Patsy's arm so long????

Can't find anything on it, but i guess it refers to John Frankenheimer, who's son Tristan died from an asthma attack in Japan...i think...

any pat kenny buffs link the two together???

Comedy Gold, but really in a strange way. <<<< I mean excellent Car Crash TV.

Darragh

In case you miss it, I've just stuck this thread inviting questions for a Boards.ie interview with David McSavage live. Feel free to add your questions.

Briaink

I hadn't seent that interveiw with the jackass lads before, makes it all the funnier! Also i know i posted this not too long ago, but does anyone know what the song from the ad for the tourism episode was, its been driving me mad!

Exclamation Marc

Briaink

Sorry, i haven't, i was trying to find it to see if i could remember by listening to it again, had no luck though. As for that video, that was one angry dude!

zuroph

Briaink

I know! This happens all the time with ads!

Speaking of music on the show, what's the name of that evil classical/choir music that plays during the priest child-napping scene every week? I'm pretty sure it's in my itunes library already, but I don't know the name of it so can't search for it. :rolleyes: I think it has a latin name or something.

Mr.Nice Guy

I thought this week's episode was one of the strongest of the series. I loved it.

I might be in the minority but I really like the NI sitcom skit.

Briaink

O Fortuna is the name of it im fairly sure.

chalkitdown1

That's it! Good man you are.

I just don't understand it. I really want to understand it and make an opinion based on that, but I just can't grasp it

So... Catholic and Protestant housemates, one is extremely catholic the other extremely protestant.....

After that, what am I missing?

A giant arm and an almost inaudible catchphrase?? What's not to get??
